A Horse VIII Not StsD On You.

To the West Chester Penn.) Nesos a
correspondent writes "This saying is
strongly verified by thrilling incident
related by the late Judge Haines, in
which he was, in the early part of his life,
a passive participant. His fathers six
horse team being released from it's task,
the harness taken off the horses, they,
being in a sprightly mood, made an es-
capade around the small enclosure from
which egress could only be had through
an open, narrow gateway, where the mar
rator had at that instant placed himself,
unconscious, childlike, of danger. As the
horses sped toward the gateway it was
evident to horror-stricken spectator that
the leading horse took in the situation
and concluded that it was too late to call
halt or to change his course; so, like a
bold, experienced locomotive driver, he
did the next best thing, and, with added
energy, sprang over and beyond the frail
obstruction, each comrade following in
turn, leaving the amazed youngster un-
harmed and unappreciative of his past
danger.

Tower Hill, Appomattox county, Va, who.
writes, November, 1886: WAS afflicted for

pected to live; was ruhofd all over with st.

We know scores of Christians who, with
wives and children, have been led to Sum
day railway trip to campmoeting or rural
church gathering, and who have desisted in
horror from q second offence Of the kind.
They testify that the first approach to the
depot made them forget it was Gods day.
The crowd, the secular conversation, the
merry hilarity, the scream and rush of the
train, the heat and dust, the picnic Sunday
dinner, the tired, cross children, and
the weary ride home, were elements
that banished all consciousness of
a worshipful, restful, dutiful Sab
bath. During all the coming week there was
no consciousness of preceding holy day that
fiavors the worRful term Of the industrious
Christian. Worst of all, the children, after
recovering from the fatiguing memory Of
that last Sunday, pleaded for another Sun
day ride, as being more pleasurable and full
er Of fun than humdrum home worship.

homes. unconsciously, thus educate genera

Anew Words with Boys About Beer.

AFew Words With Boys About Beer.
Rev. ]. NJ Van Buren, says in the Youths
temperance Banner:
"a few days since I was talking with
gentleman, an invalid, who wanted to know
what to do to get his strength. He thought
that beer must be very strengthening, as it
was made Of barley and had the substance of
the barley iu it. He seemed much surprised
when / told him that was not the object in
making beer, to have the substance Of the
barley in it, and that the only purpose for
which the barley was used was to convert the
starch in it into sugar, and ferment this sugar
and make alcohol This is called glucose, or
grape sugar. All the alcohol used for drink
ing is made in this way. Whether the alcohol
Is in beer, or wine, or brandy, or whisky, the
only difference is, there Is more In brandy
and in whisky than in wine and beer.
But, you say, how is the starch changed
into sugarl To understand this you must
know that sugar and starch are composed OF
the same elements Of matter. There are
oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon, only in diff
ferent proportions The two elements OF
which water is omposed-oxygen and hydro
gen-united with these in starch, change it
into sugar. This is done by sprouting the
barley. Every grain or seed has starch in it;
that turns into sugar when it sprouts, by alb
sorbing the moisture or water in the ground.
The barley is sprouted for this purpose. 1t is
put in heaps on O floor, kept warm, and wet
with water After it is sprouted it is dried,
and the sprouts are taken off; it is then
| crushed and fermented in warm water, and
the sugar is changed into alcohol. This makes
beer intoxicating. The remainder Of the
barley is sold to feed cattle.
| But there Is something else In beer besides
| alcohol and water. There is large quantity
Of hops used. The substance extracted from
the hops causes beer to produce sleepy feel
| ing, and gives it its bitter taste. The beer
drinker has two appetites: one for intoxicat-
ing effects of alcohol and another for the
narcotic effects of the hops. If he takes
plenty of it, one makes him drunk the other
makes him stupid.
| As to nutriment, or anything to give
strength, there is none of that. The little
particles of the barley are separated and set
tied, to make the liquor look clear and fine.
Drinking beer takes away the strength; it
don't give any Where much is used, as it is
| by those engaged in making it, it shortens a
| mans life The Germania Life Insurance
takes off five years, and insures only the best
cases. Those who drink much beer look thick
| and full; this is called beer-bloat. II taken
| with sickness they often die suddenly. They
have not the chance of recovery that other
men have.
Boys. have nothing to do with beer If you
| want to be healthy and strong and live many
years. If you once get the appetite it won't
be easy to get rid Of it. 1t Is worse than
whisky; It causes two appetites, and is more
deadening in its effects on all the functions Of
the body.

RELIGIOUS READING.


Looking back upon my writings for ths
last twenty years believe their failure has
been in very great part owing to my com
promise with the infidelity Of the outer

upon motives Of ordinary prudence and kind
ness, instead Of on the primary duty Of low
ing God-foundation other than which no
/ thought myself speaking TO a crowd
which could only be Influenced by visible
utility; nor was / the least aware how many
entirely good and holy persons were liv-
ing in the faith and love Of God as
vividly and practically now as ever In the
early enthusiasm OF Christendom, until,
chiefly in consequence Of the great
illness which for some time after 1873 forbade
my accustomed literary labor, was brought
into closer personcl relations with the friends
in America, Scotland, Ireland and Italy, 70
whom, II am spared to write any record OF
my life 1t will be seen that owe the best
hopes and highest thoughts which have sup

on how many hills which ] had thought left
